[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 1046475, member: 18708"] These are winds at 900mb or relative to the sfc, around 1500ft above. This is a top-down view of estimated low-level jet stream (llj) speeds at that level. Notice the huge area >55kts. That is ridiculous, highly unusual. Anywhere that is "exposed" with little or no land/ sfc friction (mostly for coastal/ocean interests) will easily mix down 80-90% of that wind. That is sustained 45kts for the entire coastline from New Brunswick to North Carolina. Inland the ratio is usually 60-80%. [/QUOTE]
